RAISE YOUR VOICE ST LUCIA BLASTS THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES

Catherine Sealys of Raise Your Voice St Lucia says it is important that the public not confuse the issues when it comes to the viral video of an aunt getting physical with her young niece. In the video, the woman is questioned by on lookers about her actions as she seen dragging the crying child. She replied in the video that the little girl had caused her daughter to fall. The video triggered avalanche of public reaction on social media, mostly condemnation and calls for the woman’s arrest. But as far as Catherine Sealys is concerned, this is a matter for the department of Human Services, and she is quick to add, that therein lies the problem.

Over the years, Sealys has made her views on the effectiveness of the Department of Human Services very public. She continues to lament the treatment of victims and lack of proper guidance for those who desperately need these social services and are trying to navigate the system. She finds the department woefully inadequate.
